Tracks out of service

[LARDLOGO]

Here's 2 crossings I took on Choctaw Dr. in Baton Rouge, Louisiana that are out of service, I would of taken more pictures of these 2 crossings, but it was pouring down the rain and never got a chance to get more pictures done



Note, the top picture, it's missing a crossbuck on the eastbound direction (the direction I was traveling) and the line was abandoned

How long has it been abandoned?

The top one sometime in the early 2000s
The bottom one sometime in the late 1990s

Wow, the R.O.W. of that spur is completely plowed under on the other side of the crossing! Very difficult to trace where it went!

Looks like that flat car has been there a long time. The car is visible on satellite view as well.

That looks like MOW equipment on satellite view.

Yeah... after a 2nd look I think you are correct. I didn't zoom in far enough the 1st time.

That Amarillo map satellite view shows a train just north of the end of the line!

There seems to be a lot of activity at what appears to be a BNSF yard nearby, as well.
